Your photography is as good as your recipes!! All that's missing is the taste! I will just go out on a limb and feel confident that the taste is GREAT! ^_^ Thanks, GM.

How many pepper varieties do you have?

I bi-annually cycle through the heirloom (and wild) varieties of chilis I am stewarding as I do not have enough space in our yard to grow them all to save seed from each year. I grow 7 varieties per season but we have 11 in our collection (and two new emergent naturally hybridized varieties that appeared in our garden recently which are a combination of some of those 11). How about yourself? :)

Wow.

Peppers I've just started last year. So far I only have African bird's eye and padron pepper. But for next season I already have california reaper; yellow, orange and chocolate habanero; cayenne; scotch bonnet; boule de feu; bhut jolokia. That's it. I live in Portugal so it's hard to fail. Weather is perfect to grow organic food.

I do that with whole lemons also. Your post made me hungry for pickled jalapinos. they will clear your sinuses right away.

How could you know! But I shall prevail, just like the Pals shall prevail, and Humanity shall prevail, and YOU shall prevail! ^_^

I try not to slip off into self-pity wallow, but I DO IT here and there anyway… xo Enjoy that lemon and fish for me! I’ll get back there sooner or later. ;)
